Right first things first bridewell never does well here and today was no different.

The big shock was shakey not getting out of qualy 2 and starts the race from 17th!

1 Brookes
2 Hopkins
3 mossey
4 linfoot
5 Ellison
6 Hickman
7 iddon
8 Cooper
9 buchan
10 mainwearing smart

Ellison must be the most unlucky rider out there, looking good for a podium then the bike in front blows up and he goes down on the oil.

And just to rub it in a bit more he bins it at church, so unlucky.

Bridewell down and hard too, wonder if he'll be allowed to race in race 2, he looked like he was briefly knocked out.

[egor110]

As much of a bridewell fanboy I am , he shouldn't be racing if he's saying he's concussed and pulling faces on the grid.

The medics should just rule him out at the point of him being knocked out and screw the race organisers and his team.

Plus Jenny Tinmouth is hardly making the best use of a Factory bike.

Depends, race results wise or press wise.

What a disaster of a weekend for Cooper he had the speed to get in the showdown,unfortunately the bike let him down twice.

I'm meaning race results mainly.

That's probably not why Honda have signed her though, so as far as there concerned the project is working fine.

Brookes is racing in German superbike championship next weekend.

Anyone know if the rules are much different to bsb or is it just a opportunity to stick a different fairing on his bike and get some set up done at assen?

The medical team that attend BSB, are amongst the best in the country. They're also equipped with top notch kit.
If there was any doubt about whether TB had suffered concussion, he wouldn't have been on the grid.

Surely if your knocked out that's you done for the day, he was like a rag doll when his chin hit the floor.

[egor110]

He has pr people?

Trouble is and its hard for me to say this but Bridewells made a few rash moves in the past so it was a bit rich him going on about stupid,dangerous riders.

Secondly if during your interview your going to pull faces and generally act as if you've been knocked stupid then you should pull yourself out of the race.

Saying that 4th was a good result and I want the old mental bridewell back.

I didn't see the grid walk / interview before race 2. The way Buchan was moving around throughout race 1, I was surprised that he stayed on as long as he did. From Bridewell's perspective, it might be that the incident was the culmination of many near-crashes, even if, as you say, the moment he crashed wasn't particularly dangerous.

Meanwhile, there's some handbags at WSB (it's some world championship series thing, at Sepang this round). Rea wouldn't shake hands, and there wasn't any talking during parc ferme. Davies was sideways for most of the last lap's corners - it was great.

Rea wouldn't shake Davies hand or Sykes?

Re brookes going to race in germany this weekend.

Is he mad so far that bike has hospitalised neukirchner, cudlin , kev coghlan at the weekend.

He's got the best chance he's ever had of being bsb champ and would be a shame for him to get injured taking a one off ride to please yamaha.

[egor110]

Maybe the seats not quite vacant yet?

Parkes, tinmouth, kiyo ?
